SIEGFRIED SASSOON


Born on 8 September 1886, Siegfried Sassoon was an English writer and poet, WW I veteran. Read here and here.
He is best remembered for his angry and compassionate poems of the First World War, which brought him public and critical praise. Refusing the sentimentality and patriotism of other war poets, he wrote of the horror and cruelty of trench warfare and scornfully ridiculed generals, politicians, and churchmen for their incompetence and blind support of the war.
